The article discusses the rising cost of eggs, which has more than doubled since 2019, creating challenges for businesses like B&H Dairy that rely heavily on them for their menu. Owner Ola Abdelwahed explains that her weekly egg orders have become exorbitantly expensive, pricing them out of their usual stock. The increase has been attributed to factors like bird flu, which has led to a significant culling of chickens across the country. Experts report that higher prices may persist, further straining consumers and businesses alike.
"For ten cases... we pay almost $1,400. That's really too much, and that's not even enough for one week," she explains.
"I received the eggs last week, and nothing has changed. This is for at least three or four months."
"It seems as bad as it has ever been," an industry analyst tells Business Insider.
"Consumers are being told to brace for more eggflation, and the possibility that prices could go even higher."
